What does PDP stand for, anyway?
A Western Mass native, Brian Westbrook has been devoted to music from day one - from his upbringing as a classical and jazz pianist, to drumming in his first punk band at 13, to his work today with thrash stalwarts Lich King and skacore upstarts PWRUP.
That first punk band seeded the roots for PDP Productions, guided (and bankrolled) by Brian’s father David – who had been recently dubbed “Poppa Diddy Pop” by the band and became the namesake after the joke stuck. What started as an outlet to put on shows at the local teen center and to self-record DIY demos in the basement practice space gradually morphed into booking shows and recording sessions for other bands, and Brian’s dual career path began to take shape.
After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Sound Recording Technology from UMass Lowell in 2009, Brian took over the reins of PDP Productions and dove into audio and music full-time. Since then, his whirlwind of a career has included touring the world with Lich King, engineering at music festivals across New England with Klondike Sound and PDP, co-founding and organizing RPM Fest, mixing and programming content for Rock Band, and co-establishing The Heavy Culture Cooperative to support underground music and arts.
After seven years of co-owning and operating Sonic Titan Studios and producing dozens of acclaimed metal and punk recordings, Brian is excited to embark on the next stage of his studio career at 1357 Recording Studio in Greenfield, MA.
